Renal Outcomes Following Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Dialysis-Dependent Patients With Multiple Myeloma: A Single-Center Study From a Low- and Middle-Income Country.

Key takeaways

Five dialysis-dependent patients with blood cancer received stem cell therapy; four recovered some kidney function and stopped dialysis, while one died. The study was small — just five people — and not randomized, so it shows a possible link but not proof that the treatment caused recovery.
